The Need to Be Songtext
von Dionne Warwick

To fulfil the need to be
Though I am in this world is all I ask
I can′t pretend to be something that I'm not
And I won′t wear a mask

You touch my face with love in your eyes
But when you touch my heart
With the understanding that it takes
To realize I just can't lay upon

There's a need to be true to myself
And make my own mistakes
And not to lean to heart on someone else
No matter what it takes

So if you′re sure it′s love
Just be sure it's love
For this thing called me
′Cause I am who I am
And I have the need to be


I'm not fool enough to ever fake the life
Could be master of my fate
But it′s up to me to choose my route in life
I can, may will be the ones I take, the ones I take

There's need to be something
More than just a reflection of a man
I can′t survive in someone else shadow
I need my own spot to stand

So if you're sure it's love
Just be sure it′s love
For this thing called me
′Cause I am who I am
And I have the need to be

So if you're sure it′s love
Just be sure it's love
For this thing called me
′Cause I am who I am
And I have the need to be
